At some unknown time, a thin mist began to rise in the forest.

  The mist was very faint, at least several orders of magnitude thinner than the poisonous miasma of the "Sea of Mist". Although the trees in the Demon Realm had already retracted their leaves to the maximum extent at night, the moonlight that filtered through the dense canopy was already too thin, and now with an additional layer of thin mist, Bohan stumbled even more under her feet.

  In the forest, there was originally no road, at most a narrow winding path that had been trodden out by many adventurers over the years. Once this path was formed, people's habits also formed, and even if these roads were rugged, no one thought of opening up another good road. In fact, the situation in the Zoro Adventure Team is not much different from this road - those ladies, whether their lives are fortunate or tragic, probably don't have a single person who truly has the idea of sharing with others.

  It's just that since Bao Jia didn't explicitly express his intentions, everyone still has a chance. However, if someone usually goes too far and affects the stability of the entire adventure team, the result can only be losing their competitive opportunity. Therefore, despite the poor road conditions and crowded roads, everyone still had to put on a brave face and walk together.

  At least in the eyes of pessimists, this is the true state of affairs.

  Bao Man's performance tonight was indeed a full-fledged alternative. She was the last one to join this adventure group, yet she was the first to actively leave the adventure group. In order not to be caught up by the people in the adventure group, she didn't even take the small road, but roughly estimated a direction and went straight through the trees. The fallen leaves and twigs under her feet made strange noises from time to time, which could be heard very far away in the quiet night sky, forcing Bao Man to slow down her pace.

  Then the fog came. Boman's eyes were not good to begin with, and now it was even harder for her to see what was under her feet. Originally, she had been walking unsteadily, and before long, she fell down two or three times. Fortunately, the fallen leaves on the ground were still thick enough, and her body was light and agile, so surprisingly, she didn't even get a small scratch. If someone else were to travel in such conditions, they would probably have twisted both feet by now, but our witch lady did not.

  Bao Man's legs were unstable, but at this moment her heart was very stable, extremely stable. If she had such a state of mind at the dance party earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have dumped the plate on that despicable Silver Pupil's head.

  Of course, if that's the case, then Bo Man would also have no chance of seeing Bao Jia grow up, and it would be impossible for him to have such a stable state of mind now.

  Bao Jiaran is great, being able to stay by his side is the only bright spot in my own life which lacks clarity. Bao Jia is like Diabolos of Emperor, no matter where he goes, it will become a warm and cozy magical realm. Even if one's existence is gloomy and obscure, they can still feel his meticulous care.

  Unfortunately, this Emperor Bao was not shining just for Bo Man alone. Even if it were the sun in the demon world, there would still be trees, flowers and grass relying on him to grow, and wild beasts running under the sunlight, birds singing in the shade of flowers. Those girls who didn't intentionally try to please Bao Jia ultimately existed to gather around him, which everyone was very clear about, including Bo Man.

  But this wasn't what she wanted, at least, not entirely.

  I hope that Baobei and I can be like two bright stars in the night sky, existing only to illuminate each other.

  This idea is selfish and luxurious. Bao Man, who usually wears a maid's uniform, doesn't even dare to think about it. It's also something that those girls wearing armor and robes don't dare to think about. During the day, leaves stretch towards the sunlight, swaying in the warm breeze, trying to shine for an extra moment. At night, they can only obediently fold up one by one, drifting alone in the cold wind.

  So none of the girls noticed that Bao Man had escaped, they themselves had never had such an idea, and they naturally thought that everyone was like them. Following the same principle, playing a game of "fair competition". Even when they heard Bao Man's scattered footsteps, they just took it as a strange wind.

  The wind was blowing, and the night wind in the Devil's Domain was not only cold but also had a piercing chill that cut to the bone. No matter how low Bao Man's body temperature was or how many clothes she added for her nighttime journey, she still couldn't withstand the cold wind of the Devil's Domain at all. This kind of cold wind could only be easily withstood by the mutated magical beasts that were active in the forest at night all year round.

  Bao Man's body had unknowingly been followed by several mutated magical beasts since who-knows-when.

  These guys are about two to three meters long, with four slender muscular legs, a flat-rounded skull, and although there is no prominent snout, the wide mouth that splits towards both ears has two rows of shiny sharp teeth. This demon beast is neither like a cat nor a dog, it's a born ice-wind attribute demon beast, with an astonishing speed but also timid as a mouse. A body length of about two to three meters can only be considered small in the mutated beasts, and even smaller than the blue wind wolves on a certain island. Their innate magic is just simple ice blades and wind blades.

  Are all variations of Aurochs evolving towards strength, and the demon realm has not yet reached an accurate conclusion on this research topic.

  This variant of the Ooze Beast, which is almost equivalent to a cross between a Frostbite Pouch and a Wind Wolf, seems to have no future prospects even if its level is high. Whether it's physical appearance, innate magic, or looks, there's not a hint of shock value. Some people even suspect that this magical beast survives by rummaging through the demon tribe's garbage dumps at night. Because their combat power is extremely limited, they pose no threat to adventure teams or other variant Ooze Beasts. They are invisible during the day and can only be encountered occasionally in the forest at night.

  But compared to these useless guys, the frail Bo Man wasn't much better off either. Just a few hundred meters away from the campsite, she already felt somewhat drained of energy. Bo Man had never found breathing as difficult as it was now, although the night wind had numbed her nostrils, mouth, trachea and even lungs, yet she still couldn't seem to get any air in, and could only futilely try to open her mouth wide and take deep breaths.

  The only consequence of such an unscientific breathing method was that soon, Bohman's throat began to feel dry. If it was still possible to move forward with difficulty before, after drying out to a certain extent, the throat felt like being pricked by needles and could no longer bear the heavy breathing. Once in this situation, Bohman's legs couldn't take another step.

  Those mutant dogs saw Bohman stop, and they also cautiously stopped advancing, hiding one by one in places where Bohman absolutely couldn't see them. If it weren't for the green light still flashing in their eyes, Bohman would have almost discovered nothing.

  When he saw these mutant dogs following behind him, Bohman was sitting on the ground drinking water.

  Strictly speaking, that can't be considered drinking water, because Bohman's kettle had long been frozen into a solid ice lump in the night wind, and it was impossible to pour out even half a drop. However, Miss Bohman wasn't stupid, years of hard living had given her enough experience to deal with this kind of thing. In fact, the method is very simple, just add some water storage devices similar to bamboo tubes.

  The reason why the water bottle or water bag can't pour out water is that no matter in Aicheng mainland or magic domain, these containers are born with a small mouth and a big belly. Don't mention freezing the bottleneck part, even if a large block of ice forms inside the container, it will clog the opening when pouring water, forming a vicious cycle.

  Some girls in the adventure team have containers with built-in constant temperature arrays, so there's no need to worry about this problem at all. However, Boman is an exception, all her water bottles or water bags are very ordinary, and they will definitely freeze at night.

  So, before deciding to escape, Baoman quietly prepared some bamboo tubes and the like, just like making popsicle molds. After filling a dozen or so of these with clear water, even if she couldn't drink at night, she could directly chew on these small ice pillars to quench her thirst. In Baoman's original plan, these reserves were enough to support her walking to a very far place.

  However, it was clear that the witch had overestimated her leg strength and physical strength. Moreover, when she couldn't hold on and started to rest and drink water, she saw a few green lights flashing in the direction of the forest behind her while chewing on the ice pillar with a crunching sound.

  Bao Man was familiar with these variant Icewind Hounds, for in her living environment, she had once seen them sneak into the demon tribe's town at night to hunt for food. However, unlike the legends, these guys wouldn't go rummaging through trash heaps, because they didn't eat plants, and it was impossible for them to just pick up something and make do with a meager meal.

  Their true food is the demonic tribe.

  Those were the Mo races who were as poor as, or even poorer than, the Bauman.

  Those demons couldn't even afford to live in the shelters, and could only find some barely concealed places in the corners of the town. When they encountered diseases or other afflictions, they simply had to accept their fate.
